Windows 10 Mobile is rolling out “soon” promises Microsoft

It’s been a long wait for Lumia users stuck with Windows Phone 8.1 on their handsets: the Windows 10 Mobile upgrade was supposed to arrive before the Christmas holidays but then got pushed back to the start of 2016.

Right now the mobile OS is only available on the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL handsets. A variety of bugs and issues have been reported that are linked to software updates, which could be the reason Microsoft is holding back on letting other Lumia users download it.

What you’ll need
